Women's Velvet Gothic Dress With Matching Pouch
Historical Background And Usage
The basic lines and cut of this dress are inspired by the fashion of the High and Late Gothic periods, roughly the 14th and 15th centuries. During this time, clothing began to follow the lines of the body more closely, and deep necklines along with elongated sleeve points (known as tippets) became a symbol of nobility and high social standing. Velvet was perceived as one of the most luxurious materials, and wearing it was often restricted by sumptuary laws to the wealthy elite. This gown, in an elegant dark brown with golden-yellow sleeves, is perfect for historical reenactment, fantasy LARPs, or theatrical performances. Fastening is secured by a discreet hidden zipper on the back for comfortable dressing.

Cotton Velvet Care And Safety
Natural cotton velvet is exceptionally soft and breathable, but it requires your careful attention, my friend. We recommend professional dry cleaning or careful hand washing in lukewarm water at a maximum of 30 °C (86 °F). Please follow the cleaning and maintenance instructions. Never tumble dry the dress or leave it in direct sunlight, so the rich colours do not fade. Iron exclusively from the reverse side on the lowest setting or use a garment steamer to avoid crushing the fine pile of the velvet. We strongly warn you against moving too close to an open fire or naked flame – untreated cotton is a highly flammable material.
Recommended Accessories
To make your historical costume absolutely flawless, we recommend purchasing suitable leather footwear inspired by the 14th or 15th century. Your neckline practically demands a striking Gothic necklace. Please note that any jewellery and footwear are not included in this delivery; in the package, you will only find the dress itself and the colour-coordinated pouch.
